Reborn to Outshine My Ex and His White Moonlight novel Chapter 391

Chapter 391: Chapter 391: The Thing Lin Zhiyi Left for Him

Gong Chen was well aware of the old man’s insistence on having descendants.

Beyond tying him down, it was also about binding the Gong Family and the Sang Family together tightly.

He would not let the old man have his way, so he had long been prepared.

At this moment, the entire restaurant fell silent.

Even when Sang Ran’s spoon slipped from her hand and hit the floor, no one reacted.

Everyone knew that Liu He couldn’t have children, and Gong Shiyan would rather endure being targeted than divorce her.

That left Gong Chen as the only one capable of continuing the lineage.

He had undergone a vasectomy.

This was as good as severing Old Mr. Gong’s hopes for the next generation.

Old Mr. Gong’s chest heaved violently. He took a deep breath before speaking, "Don’t joke around. I’m merely a father who wishes to see his grandson born someday."

"You have a grandson, Gong Yan. Have you forgotten so soon?" Gong Chen replied indifferently.

"Let’s not bring up the past." The old man’s face darkened.

"Is that so? Sometimes, not having children recklessly is its own form of mercy." Gong Chen wiped his hands with a napkin, then rose slowly and said, "I have matters to attend to at the company. I’ll be leaving now."

It was clear whom his words were aimed at.

The old man was so furious he couldn’t speak for a long time.

Gong Chen didn’t spare him a glance, turning and walking away.

As he stepped out of the restaurant’s main door, hurried footsteps in high heels echoed behind him.

Annoyed, he quickened his pace.

"Lao San." Liu He called out.

Gong Chen stopped and turned to look at her. His gaze suddenly brightened, and he almost blurted out, "She’s looking for me?"

Liu He was startled, nervously clutching her handbag. "No, no, she’s not."

"Hmm." Gong Chen’s expression dimmed. "What’s the matter?"

Liu He retrieved a box from her bag and handed it to him. "Zhiyi asked me to give this to you."

Gong Chen recognized the box—it was the jewelry case that held the ruby earrings.

He took it but didn’t open it immediately. "How is she?" he asked coolly.

Liu He remembered something and quickly pulled out her phone, opening a photo of Lin Zhiyi.

"She’s doing very well. She said she’s very happy."

"Good." Gong Chen responded lightly.

The photo showed Lin Zhiyi smiling radiantly.

So, leaving him behind, she could live so well.

Liu He bit her lip and mustered the courage to ask, "Lao San... Did you really have a vasectomy?"

Gong Chen’s gaze lingered briefly on the photo before he nodded.

If he could, he’d dream of Xingxing forever. Just having her as his daughter would’ve been enough.

But it seemed even Xingxing resented him. She said she’d leave, and she did. She hadn’t visited his dreams ever since.

Liu He, hearing this, became even more flustered. If Gong Chen found out Lin Zhiyi was pregnant, what kind of chaos would that bring?

She forced a smile, deliberately adding, "You never used to call me Second Sister-in-Law. Hearing it today feels nice; it finally sounds like we’re one family."

Gong Chen raised his eyes to look at her.

Liu He nervously lowered her head.

Her petty tricks were utterly futile against Gong Chen.

Her words were nothing more than a reminder that they were now family, imploring Gong Chen to stop longing for Lin Zhiyi.

Perhaps this was also what Lin Zhiyi wanted.

Chen Jin said Lin Zhiyi never moved into the apartment she was supposed to.

Rumor had it that as soon as she got off the plane, Sang Li was seen taking a woman into the Sang Family’s villa.

As for the school Lin Zhiyi had been accepted into, she hadn’t gone there either.

No one knew where she went instead.

All the clues pointed to one thing—Lin Zhiyi was cutting all ties with Gong Chen.

Expressionless, Gong Chen clenched the box and turned to leave.

Once inside the car, he opened the box. Inside were two keys.

One of them he recognized—it was the key to Lin Zhiyi’s apartment.

Chen Jin turned and asked, "Third Young Master, where to?"
